A minimum percentage of 60 in every subject and a minimum average of 70 are required for promotion. The general average of the opinion cur- rent in the department everywhere is well expressed as follows by on of the oldest | and best-known teachers “Instead of being progressive the idea i one that has been dropped for progressive educators everywhers was dropped in San Francisco some t or twelve years ago and there have been no written examinations for promotion since. Promotions have been made on the records, reports, classroom work and, general proficiency of the child during the year. They have largely depended on the “teacher’s knowledge of the child's character, abilities, needs, etc. The judg- | ment of a teacher who has been in the classroom with the pupil for a year is deemed a better gulde than the written answers to ten questions. It has been my observation that about two-thirds of the | pupils are yearly promoted actually by their teachers and in addition some are advanced conditionally. | ““Where the plan is used at all in best Eastern schools the results of the | examinations are made but part of the | | conditions for promotior d then only |in the higher grades. Thé system creates | teaching for examinations and not for the development of the child, which is quite | a different thing. If the teaching is for examination the teacher will select what | is most likely to be covered by the exam- | ination. If you teach for the develop- | ment of the child you take into consider- | ation many things not covered by exam- | inations. An examination doesn’t deter- | mine the character of the child, his in- dustry, perseverance, etc. | “When a pupil's promotion depends on | his whole year's record he has a constant incentive to effort and excellence. When | he knows that he Is to be promoted on examination he is apt to take things easy ind then cram up for examination. For | another thing, written examinations put | a premium on dishonesty. It is impossible | to conduct a written examination in a crowded class-room without dishonesty. | They quickly get cheating down to a si | ence and show great cleverness and in- | genuity in it. I have known a boy to | Work out a whole problem on a small bit | of tissue paper. make a pellet of it and | snap it clear across a room.

The injury, which was | very slight, was dressed by Dr. Fitzgib- | bon. Mrs. Hines, the boy's mother, says | she will swear out a warrant for Thomas’ | arrest this morning. | | b e | Beaten in a Tunnel. Alexander Kirkwood, second officer of the colller Mineola, walked into the Har- bor Hospital last night to have several ugly cuts and bruises about the face and body dressed. He said that he attended the picnic of the Bagles and while the traln was passing through the . tunnel near Greenbrae a crowd of men set unon him and after beating him went through his pockets. Thomas Holland was ar- rested and charged with battery. He is believed to be one of the men who as- saulted Kirkwood.
